Trends we are noticing are:

  • Uncertainty in the markets from both sellers and buyers
  • Further rate and inflation increases predicted
  • Buyers remain hesitant

“When looking at the November figures, we’re comparing a market at its peak with one that has moderated over the past 12 months.”

“Buyers are again weighing up the likely impact on mortgage rates with current downward pressure on property prices. Those thinking of selling are again looking at the market and asking, ‘Is this the right time?’. “For many it is the right time. In November, people continued to transact — 5,525 according to our sales count,”  ” – Jen Baird (REINZ CEO)
